Networking your way to a new job involves more than just skills - it requires growing your professional profile, managing your online identity and personal brand, having conversations and making connections both in person and online. The key is to show up at events, speak up by introducing yourself and following up afterwards. Effective networking means saying "hello" rather than "look at me" and taking opportunities to both share information and learn from others. Tools like LinkedIn, Twitter, Google alerts and feeds can help expand a professional network from which new possibilities may emerge.
